Remember... you're paying for a room, a private bathroom and a clean environment to sleep in. In that case, this is just perfect. Location is pretty central, short walk to Gare de Lyon, Place de la Bastille (Metro: Bastille), Gare Austerlitz (Trains out to Chateau Versailles). Can even walk to Marais in about 10-15 minutes. So it's just a stones... More

We stayed here for 2 nights booked at the last minute for a weekend break in Paris. The hotel was very easy to get to, being half way between Bastille and Gare de Lyon and we checked in without any fuss. Room was a decent size (you could walk around the bed and everything!) bed comfortable and it was clean.... More

Ok, so we booked this at two weeks notice over new year when there wasn't any availability at nicer boutique hotels in this kind of price range. Also, because it was new year, we ended up paying €440 for three nights which really felt like a lot but at two weeks notice over new year can you really complain about... More

We arrived Paris by train and left by airplane. The location of the hotel was just great for us : a few minutes walk from the Gare de Lyon where we arrived, and from where we took a bus to the airport. It has plenty of nice restaurants around and is easily accessible by the subway (~5 minutes walk), as... More

I stayed at the Hotel Alexandrie (formerly Tonic Hotel) for 6 nights and had a lovely time. Madame Blot is a lovely lady and will answer any question you might have. Her staff is very courteous too. The hotel is on a quiet street off the busy rue de Lyon. It's a 3-minute walk to the Gare de Lyon and... More

We arrived at 9.30 at night to a cold and wet Paris after travelling 24 hours from Australia. We had booked 2 rooms, one family room for my husband, me and 2 children and another for my parents. As we booked into reception the receptionist told us there had been a problem with water in our rooms and therefore they... More

I was in Paris for three nights. Booked first at a three star (Duminy Vendome) for EUR 180. They ended up overbooked and sent me to a Mercure, right by the Printemps dept store. Second night I stayed with friends. Third night, I went to Alexandrie, booked at EUR 75. I typically try to stay at three star places such... More

I have stayed at the Tonic a couple of times. It is in a fantastic location, walking distance to Bastille and on the main tourist line. However, it should not be classed as 3 star, it is 2 star at best. The rooms are small, like mos Paris hotels and it is slightly run down. I would rcomend the Hotel... More

Although a very 'plain jane' look to the Alexandrie, the hotel is a tight ship. The front desk people were all very friendly and spoke english. The rooms were clean, air conditioned and the coffee in the morning was excellent. The bed & shower was a little small for my partner (6'2", 200lbs), but we managed. More
